Trans aesthetics are powerful, and of strength, beauty and grace they spoke on Monday, when Caitlyn Jenner was unveiled as Vanity Fair’s July cover star. Marking a groundbreaking moment for the transgender community, the portrait lensed by Annie Leibovitz only serves to attest that transgender identities are now playing increasingly influential roles both in the fashion industry and pop culture. Redefining beauty and building upon…

Fashion’s fascination with androgyny holds strong. This shoot for Elle Serbia’s January 2013 issue stars Andrej Pejic as both male and female model, both ‘Victor’ and ‘Victoria’, convincingly playing two parts of a domestica drama.

It’s likely that you’ve skipped your dosage of hackneyed Internet culture over the past fortnight if you haven’t encountered Liu Xianping. For those who need a refresher on Xianping, he’s the 72 year old cross-dressing gent with Yoda good looks and a penchant for modelling the clothes sold through his granddaughter’s online store. That descriptor makes Xianping sound only slightly better than listening to Rebecca…

In shooting Andrej Pejic, Nicolas Guerin brings out one all-important thing; the thing most key to the model’s ongoing success. Well ok – two things, the first and most obvious being Pejic’s famously androgynous form of beauty. The second is Pejic’s ability to do drama but in such a way that never feels like he’s taking himself too seriously. From Pejic’s numerous interviews with magazines…

There’s the casting of three uniform blonde-haired models; the ambiguity of androgynous Andrej Pejic alongside the two topless female models, likely a deliberate feat of casting that has the viewer constantly doing a double-take. And of course there’s…

Once an enigma of androgynous confusion, there’s little doubt these days as to which side of the gender divide Andrej Pejic more enjoys spending time on. Often dubbed the pretties boy in fashion, possibly even full stop, Pejic has the rare quality of being able to model both men’s and women’s clothing with ease. For Fashion Magazine Canada’s February 2012 issue it’s feminine all the…

With the rise of Andrej Pejic every cover with a hint of androgyny has me questioning my first impression. The cover of Singapore’s Style: Men leaves me asking; is the cover model a girl portraying a boy or a boy portraying a girl portraying a boy? Find out below the fold…

Update: as well as the video, you can now view the accompanying photoshoot of Andrej Pejic as Marilyn Monroe at the gallery. Somehow we’re not all that surprised that getting into the character of Marilyn Monroe would come so naturally to androgynous phenomenon Andrej Pejic. After all, blonde and glamorous have become his trademark style. The title of the video is as cheeky as Andrej…
